And when this happen in a party, either the party or politician is calling for doom.

God help us
.

Yes, I want the doom to happen, so that the much needed Third Force can emerge with credible candidates in my State.

Both APC&PDP are not sure of having candidates except court rules in their favour, but I don't see that happening soon.

According to INEC Guidlines, July 17th, 2022 is the last day for all political parties to substitute their candidates, Governorship & their running mates for proper documentation.

Akpabio offerd nothing to tinubu, and he is a faild politician for 2023
.

I blame him for his mistakes, he should have concentrate more on becoming a Senator than a President, when he knows he do not stand a chance in the race. Then arrange the delegates from his State to support his preferred.

Paying ₦100Million for Presidential form, only for him to step down for Tinubu in the Primaries was needless, then jet back to the State immediately to conduct a fresh Senatorial primaries Nicodemusly before midnight of dateline day, only for us to wake up with the news that Senator Akpabio as emerged the senatorial Candidate in his District, when there was an existing candidate who won the Primaries previously.

Yes, Umahi was wise enough to use his own blood brother and younger brother, who himself filed for the substitution.

The other people, the placeholders don't want to tranfer power.
.

No, Senator Akpabio & Lawan did not arrange for placeholder in the first place.

They were concentrating to become president, in Senator Akpabio's case, a winner emerged already in a primary conducted previously.

He came from the Presidential primaries just before dateline to conduct another one so he can emerge as candidate, not minding the man who won in the previous primaries, so the previous winner took the matter to court, making the matter worst, INEC REC in the state insist in recognizing the man who won the first senate primaries.

Senator Akpabio should have negotiated with the Candidate, then agree on something since it's a party affair, I think he was looking at time because dateline to conclude all primaries by INEC was already staring at him, a couple of hours before 12am midnight.

Senator Lawan only went back home to take over the mandate when there was no agreement on ground before he went on his Presidential sojourn, but later beg the Candidate to step down for him, promising him a juicy offer, but the young man bluntly refused, but since it's an internal &party thing they might just reach an agreement for peace to reign.
But Senator Lawan has been in NASS since 1999, both FHoRep&Senate, he should rest &allow someone else to takeover from him, in my opinion

exactly, let him not be power monger. he is still young but has made lots of money. he should just wait for next 4 years and contest in a senatorial primary with machina and hope he wins machina.

Congrats to Dave Umahi once again.

Yeah, congratulations to Gov.Dave Umahi for the ticket, he's lucky.

Senator Lawan should better contest as Governor if zoning favours him,
they made the electoral Law@NASS, sent it to President Buhari to assent, erroneously excluding Statutory delegates to vote during primaries, still most of them don't understand the interpretations of the Electoral Law, thats why if you wanna contest for any position, study the Constitution, study the electoral Law, Party Constitution, understand INEC guildlines, where you don't understand, hire an intelligent &well-informed Lawyer to explain to your understanding, the sections &subsections, so that you can be properly guided.

His placeholder sureendered the ticket to him. The placeholder was his younger brother and he submitted form to be replaced with his senior brother Dave Umahi; signed and requested by the placeholder.

That is entirely different from Lawan and Akpabio whose placeholders are fighting back and don't want to be re-substituted.



Gov Umahi has won.
Ok

But honestly, PDP governors are doing well in Akwa ibom.

I served during the first one year of Udom Emmanuel and that guy really tried and even presently, he's one of the best governor...

Yeah, he has tried his best, but cash is not really flowing to help the local economy, in terms SMEs, money is not easy to come by, lack of jobs despite his effort in industrialization drive, retired primary school teachers ain't being paid, hunger etc. It seems to pay more attention to the Elites in the State.
His succession plan do not go well with the people of the State, disenfranchisement of more popular aspirants guning for different elective positions, trying so hard to impose candidates on the people, as a result creating factions in the ruling party, PDP.

Aggrieved members of the party have gone to court to challenge the outcome of the ad-hoc delegates that took part in the Primaries that voted, court cases on his most preferred governorship candidates, questioning his school certificates, pending judgement this week, which may not go down well with the Candidate & party. PDP is gradually going extinct in the state, despite reconciliation committee setup to persuade members from massive defections next week other parties, a lot have resigned their appointments.

AK-PDP is in a deep sh!tt

APC may not have Guber candidate, among other candidates within AK-APC characterized by chronic factions.

Third Force is what the good people of the State is looking at to help salvage their situations.

Oga, the state INEC REC, Barr. Mike Igini confirmed Ekpo Udom was winner of the senate primaries, another faction says Ekperikpe Ekpo was winner, In as much I sense Barr. Mike Igini allegedly being baised in some way by heating up the polity but I listened to his explanations &seems to understand what played out in APC primaries.

I would have love to see Senator Akpabio back in Senate, cos he is politically vibrant than DIG Ekpo Udom, but he should have arrange it more better devoid of complications so that he can come out unscratched.

Despite court order, Barr. Mike do not recognize Chief Steve NtukEkpo Loyal to Senator Akpabio as authentic chairman of the state APC saying his emergence was fraudulent &he explained for all to see reasons with him.

Barr. Mike Igini do not recognize the Governorship primaries conducted by NtukEkpo that produce Mr. Akan Udofia saying no INEC officials was there to monitor the exercise.
Instead he prefers Mr. Austin Ekanem's faction Loyal to Senator Udoedeghe with reasons best known to him.

His own side of the story via media chats concerning what transpired in AKS-APC's State Congress, General Primaries that produces candidates, and are in public domain for you to read &understand.
So stop quoting me &be shaking your head for nothing.

I am a well informed individual.

Senator Ita Enang is in Court, other litigations in respect to the APC gubernatorial primaries is in Court already, so the court will decide at the right time.
